The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 511 - 422, East District

Chapter 511 -422, East District

The interior of the train was pervaded by the smell of welding and machine oil.

The space inside the carriage was rather cramped, filled with various supplies and tools that needed to be brought along.

The walls were made of mottled metal plates, with patched-up pipes and wires visible in some areas.

The dim lights on the ceiling emitted a faint glow, casting a slightly oppressive atmosphere.

“Priority for space is given to skeletons and supplies; that makes the seated areas crowded,” Qi Hancai explained in a soft voice.

“The layout isn’t bad.”

Wu Heng said as he sat down to one side.

The seats were old, long green leather bench seats with a fixed table in the middle.

On the table, there was also a monitor fixed in place, displaying surveillance footage of the area surrounding the train.

Monitors were installed on the outside of the train to ensure every angle could be captured.

Although he didn’t know what the trains looked like in the provincial areas.

The level of modification on his own train was more complete than he imagined.

Sitting down in a chair, Qi Hancai directly said, “If everything goes smoothly, it will take five hours to enter Anhui City Station. If there are too many zombies, we’ll need to stop the train to clear them out. The train’s exterior can withstand the zombies, but there is still a risk of derailing. Once we derail, it would be very difficult for us to get back on track with the tools we have now.”

Wu Heng understood what the other meant, “When there are many zombies, we’ll prepare in advance and let the skeletons take care of the combat.”

A few scattered zombies posed no threat to a train modified to this extent.

The main concern was large hordes of zombies and significant obstructions on the railway.

As long as they paid attention and prepared in advance, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Even if the number of skeletons carried by the train was limited, compared to zombies, they still had the advantage in terms of level.

“Okay!” Qi Hancai nodded and then added, “We mentioned the intention to take over the station and exchange supplies on the Anhui City channel in advance, but they didn’t believe us, and their attitude wasn’t very friendly.”

Wu Heng remarked, “The market at the passenger station was like this too when it was opened to outsiders, and other shelters had the same attitude.”

When he and Li Yahong opened up the passenger station, other shelters were also ridiculing them.

By that time, Qi Hancai hadn’t joined yet.

And when they opened the market in the old factory area, the military had already established a market ahead of time, making it easier for survivors to accept.

Now that they were in a new place, a similar situation arose.

But it was understandable.

In a world infested with zombies, outsiders coming to open a market, exchanging food for gold.

Any normal person would doubt its authenticity.

Qi Hancai slightly raised an eyebrow, “There was such a thing? I didn’t mock it.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Once we take over the station, people from the other shelters will believe us.”

“Yes, you’re right,” Qi Hancai agreed.

Boom Boom Boom~!

As the train left the city, thumping sounds began to reach them from the outside.

Both looked towards the side monitor, where they could see zombies on either side of the tracks attracted by the sound of the train.

They charged straight at the train.

The zombies in front were smashed to pieces upon impact.

Those hitting the train’s body on both sides were also flung away by the train’s inertia.

Besides the thumping noises.

It felt as if there were no impacts at all.

Wu Heng redirected his attention from the monitor and glanced at the control panel’s notification.

The train smashing zombies did not yield any experience points.

It seemed that kills were not considered his own.

It was somewhat regrettable.

…

Qi Hancai picked up a walkie-talkie to check with the driver’s cabin.

Wu Heng pulled up the panel to check his attributes.

[Name: Wu Heng]

[Level: 15 (13585/195000)]

[Attributes: Strength 41, Agility 31, Constitution 44, Intelligence 43, Perception 28, Charm 29.]

[Specializations: … One-Handed Sword Specialization (Advanced), Swordsmanship Specialization (Intermediate), Staff Specialization (Intermediate) …, Arcane Training, Knowledge of Souls, … Undead Adaptation, Spellcasting Acceleration, Forced Concentration, Master Caster, Tireless Focus.]

[Abilities: Greyhawk Swordsmanship (Novice), Enhance Will, Soul Sense, Burst Potential, Spellcasting Acceleration, Breath of the Wraith, Divine Presence.]

[Skills: Bone Manipulation Skill, …, Breath of Death, …, Animate Object, Lightning Binding.]

On checking now.

He had admittedly become somewhat lax in recent times.

Experience points sat at just thirteen thousand, a long way off from the needed one hundred ninety thousand.

The Otherworld still posed significant threats.

He needed to raise his level as quickly as possible.

“Would you like something to drink?” Qi Hancai asked as she put down the walkie-talkie.

Wu Heng closed the panel, “What is it?”

“Beer, soda, mineral water.”

“Pretty much what you’d expect in a car. Mineral water it is!”

Qi Hancai opened a nearby cabinet and took out two bottles of mineral water.

One bottle for each person.

Qi Hancai continued to ask, “Did you know the people at the auto repair shop from the beginning?”

“Our residential community was quite close. We met while clearing out the zombies.”

“Oh, Yahong is really lucky,” Qi Hancai said with a touch of envy, then added, “I’m pretty lucky too.”

Wu Heng nodded and asked again, “What’s the next stop?”

Qi Hancai glanced at the map, “Dongjiang District Station.”

…

Dongjiang District Station.

Outside of the train station, at a window on the fifth floor of a building.

A man wearing a black greasy down jacket and carrying a combat backpack was looking down through binoculars.

He carefully observed the situation on the opposite side.

His face was stern, silent, and speechless.

Behind him, debris was piled up into a fire, where five men and women were gathered, warming themselves by the fire and waiting for news.

“How is it? Are there many zombies?” a short-haired woman asked.

The man observing the situation said gravely, “There are many. Just inside and outside the hall there are hundreds. There should be even more at the station or other places.”

The woman shaded her eyes with her hand and looked into the distance, “Is there a way to draw them away?”

“It’s difficult. We all sneaked in carefully. If we cause any big disturbance, the zombies outside may riot, and we might all die here,” another person said from behind.

“If it doesn’t work, we’ll just take the car on the highway.”

“Wait!” the man with the binoculars suddenly said.

The rest immediately became tense, putting out the fire and drawing their weapons.

“What is it?”

The man’s tone was puzzled, “All the zombies at the station rushed inside, as if they were attracted by something.”

The group moved to the window and looked from afar.

Hordes of zombies poured into the station frenziedly.

It was as if they were lured away by something.

“Are there other survivors?”

…

Over the walkie-talkie, a voice said, “This is the cockpit. We’re about to enter the station. There are a lot of zombies visible in the station. It could be dangerous to force our way through.”

The two idle talkers turned their gaze to the monitor on one side.

From the camera at the front of the train, one could see the zombies wandering within the distant station.

It was not enough to be called a horde, but there were still over a hundred.

“Should we rush through? The tracks should be clear,” Qi Hancai said.

Wu Heng looked at the monitor, “Let’s be cautious. Inform the cockpit to prepare to stop. We’ll clear out the zombies here before proceeding.”

“Alright.” Qi Hancai contacted the cockpit.

The train began to slow down and came to a gradual stop.

The train’s carriages opened, and skeletons surged out, quickly forming a formation at the front of the train.

“Hit the train horn!”

Beep~!

The deafening sound of the train horn rang out.

The zombies in the distance turned their heads towards the sound.

The next second, they let out a series of roars and started running towards them.

At the same time, the zombies in the waiting room were also attracted. They shattered the glass windows and began to converge on the tracks, charging towards them.

“Spear throw, release.”

Swish swish swish~!

A barrage of spears flew out.

They landed amidst the zombies with a crackling sound, a swath of the undead pierced by the spears, falling and tripping up the ones behind.

The zombies in the back continued to howl and charge, crashing into the spear array.

In an instant, the sounds of shrieks and sharp weapons piercing flesh echoed throughout the area.

Skeleton flying dragons circled in the sky.

They occasionally dove down, grabbed zombies, dragged them into the air, then dropped them, knocking over several others.

The number of accompanying skeletons was not large, but they certainly had the upper hand in terms of level.

Zombies fell in swathes, only to be replaced by wave after wave of new assailants.
